Current IssueSoldering Technologies
Soldering is the heartbeat of assembly, and new developments are taking place to match the rest of the innovation in electronics. There are tried-and-true technologies for soldering. But new challenges in packaging, materials, and sustainability may be putting this key step in flux.
The Rise of Data
Analytics is a given in this industry, but the threshold is changing. If you think you're too small to invest in analytics, you may need to reconsider. So how do you do analytics better? What are the new tools, and how do you get started?
Counterfeit Concerns
The distribution of counterfeit parts has become much more sophisticated in the past decade, and there's no reason to believe that trend is going to be stopping any time soon. What might crop up in the near future?

Yamaha Motor Europe to Debut New YRM20 Mounter at SMTconnect 2020
March 10, 2020 | Yamaha Motor EuropeEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Yamaha Motor Europe SMT Section will highlight the next generation machine platform with the first new machine YRM20 surface mounter for data-intensive intelligent manufacturing at SMTconnect 2020 in Nuremberg, May 5-7. The Yamaha booth, 319 hall 4, will also feature the integrated material handling with the YST15 intelligent component storage tower, software tools to boost productivity, and inline modular surface-mount equipment of the Yamaha Total Line Solution.
Making its European debut, the YRM20 introduces Yamaha’s next-generation platform optimised for high-speed, high-volume communication and accelerated data sharing. In addition, the new HM inline head and RM rotary multipurpose head that interfaces efficiently with the latest high-speed feeder, increase speed and versatility. The YRM20 also introduces a new high-precision board mount, new conveyor for faster transport and board replacement, overdrive motion for increased productivity, and advanced, intuitive GUI with focused controls and easier component setup.
Also ready to power smart factories to increased productivity, the YST15 intelligent component storage tower can store up to 1500 reels, load and unload up to 27 reels in one batch, and connect with surface-mount lines to coordinate replenishment automatically.
The next generation software platform will feature in a dedicated display area to demonstrate the latest tools to accelerate equipment programming and setup, simplify real-time control, assist troubleshooting and traceability, and automate data analysis to inform manufacturing and business decision making.
From the Yamaha Total Line Solution, the booth will feature the YSP10 fast-cycle printer with automatic stencil replacement, YSM20R high-speed modular mounter featured for high axis speeds and non-stop operation, YSi-SP 3D solder-paste inspection system, and YSi-V hybrid 2D/3D/4-direction AOI system.
Yamaha technical experts and sales engineers will be available at the booth throughout the event to explain how the Company’s innovative equipment solutions and software tools support smart manufacturing and increase productivity and quality. Visit booth 319, hall 4 to find out more.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
